The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of positive psychological capital, learning goal orientation, and articulating a vision on affective commitment to organizational change. and the moderating effects of benefits of change and organizational cynicism on the relationships between these three variables and commitment of organizational change. Data were collected form 320 employees that have undergone organizational change during recent 1 year. After elimination of inadequate data, 297 data were obtained for statistical analysis. The results of hierarchial regression analyses showed that positive psychological capital and learning goal orientation positively predicted commitment to organizational change. Contrary to hypothesis, however, articulating a vision was negatively related to commitment to organizational change. Also the results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that benefits of change and organization cynicism moderated the relationship between positive psychological capital and affective organizational change commitment. Relationships between leaning goal orientation and affective organizational change commitment are moderated by benefits of change and organizational cynism. Contrary to hypotheses, however, when benefits of change is low and organizational cynicism is high, the relationships were stronger. Finally, implications and limitations of this study and the directions for future research were discussed on the basis of the results.

New Evidence

We examined how people's belief that human traits are either malleable or fixed—that is, mindset—can shape consumers' variety seeking through learning goal orientation. We also tested the moderating effect of susceptibility to interpersonal influence in the mindset–variety seeking relationship. Participants were 364 adults in the US, who completed a survey on mindset, variety seeking, learning goals, and susceptibility to interpersonal influence. Results show that consumers with a growth (vs. fixed) mindset were more likely to engage in variety seeking as they were more motivated by learning goals. This relationship was more evident when they cared less (vs. more) about others' approval. These findings offer new evidence for how mindset is related to consumption tendencies, provide insight into the conditions under which these relationships are stronger or weaker, and suggest that practitioners should pay more attention to mindset when they are developing marketing strategies.
